Advocacy & awareness

Public policy & advocacy

Governments at both the State and Federal levels are important stakeholders for the engineering profession. For this reason, Engineers Australia undertakes regular engagement with key government and political contacts as well as through the provision of policy statements, Government submissions and responses to Government enquiries. Through this engagement we aim to position Engineers Australia as a trusted advisor to government on matters relevant to the engineering profession, ranging from national infrastructure policy to science and maths education in our schools.

Public awareness

The role of the engineer is not widely understood by the wider community. In addition, it is important that students are aware of the career opportunities available through engineering. By raising public awareness of our profession, as well as an improved perception generally, we're also aiming to attract intelligent school leavers or career changers to a career to in engineering.
